Aquamarine — The Stone of the Sea
Aquamarine takes its name from the Latin words for "sea" and "water," and it is easy to see why. With its stunning shades of blue and blue-green, this beautiful gemstone has been associated with the ocean for centuries. Roman fishermen believed it would keep them safe on their travels and bring them good fortune, while ancient sailors thought it had magical powers to calm the seas and protect them on long voyages.
Origin
Aquamarine is most commonly mined in Brazil, which remains the largest and most important commercial producer of gem-quality Aquamarine in the world. It can also be found in Nigeria, Madagascar, Zambia, Pakistan and Mozambique. Interestingly, despite being named after the colour of the sea, Aquamarine was first discovered in Siberia, far from any ocean.
